This contributed volume brings together research papers presented at the
4th International Conference on Dynamics in Logistics, held in Bremen,
Germany in February 2014. The conference focused on the identification,
analysis and description of the dynamics of logistics processes and
networks. Topics covered range from the modeling and planning of
processes, to innovative methods like autonomous control and knowledge
management, to the latest technologies provided by radio frequency
identification, mobile communication, and networking. The growing
dynamic poses wholly new challenges: logistics processes and networks
must be(come) able to rapidly and flexibly adapt to constantly changing
conditions. The book primarily addresses the needs of researchers and
practitioners from the field of logistics, but will also be beneficial
for graduate students.
